Epilogue I woke up Monday, April 22, 2019, in Taupo slightly dreading the day as this was technically the final day of my trek. I had sadly broken down my Wheelie and had everything packed in two duffel bags and the backpack. Brian and Shirley picked me up around 10:00 am and I …
Taupo (Zero Days) It’s Sunday, and to be honest, I was dreading this blog, as it signifies the end of my trek and I really don’t want it to end! After contemplating the concern for my knee, and especially the danger of heavy traffic and the road for this Easter weekend, I made the decision …
